get ready to rock, get shot in the face

obviously summertime is all about the festivals. but i hate coachella (heatstroke), bonnaroo (smelly hippies), and lolla is amazing but hard to get to. so instead, we're heading to baltimore to get shot at the Virgin Festival.

i've only been to Balto once but there were crack vials in the streets and it was terrifying. and that was at 9 AM. if this festival doesn't end in bloodshed, i will want my money back. but the lineup is sick.
